I'm a jedi too, and... I have had 4 BH come see me since the CU . Taking away names and value is the only way I see to make it so everyone gets a visit from their local BH welcoming committee. Us full template jedi are being left out of the fun while the young paddies live in fear of the same BH coming day after day cause he knows he can kill them (and yes this happened to me when I was grinding, Jamma and his damn pikes in the old DOT days I couldnt win).

I do think BH need the element of surprise. I guess it is too complicated to make it work like the MIssion update system and give you the name 500m out.

do you really think that when the BH comes, alone, and sees your name and realizes you have a finnished template he is going to put up a fight? I know some BHs who will, but BHvs Jedi, the BH will normally loose. The only action i see is when a group of BHs come after me, then i get a good fight and thank them, win or loose.

perhaps i am mistaken

I haven't played publish 20 yet so I can't be too terribly disturbed yet. It's not driving me crazy to get here either with the feedback that has been posted. I will just wait and see till the day comes.

*SHAKES FIST AS TESSER* Just because I'm a BH and your Jedi

good stuff.

Hunt players at 3000BH, know names and payouts, and keep the element of surprise. /duel from jedi checking if a BH has a mission should be a bannable offence. Let BHs track Jedi on kashyyyk giving them dungeon names and instance numbers.

hey, ill step out on a limb and say this:

give BHs a stealth field generator to effectivly "cloak" them until they are w/i 20m or so, then the cloak breaks (so other jedi wont whine so much).

Why are jedi getting all the good stuff out of this patch?

and NO, i am not being sarcastic, i am dead serious. give the BHs a chance.

i COULDNT AGREE MORE. When a BH comes for me my blood gets boiling just like when i used to come for the jedi. I feel that pub 20 will kill that oh so special feeling of "Oh crap!!!!" maybe i shouldnt have stood in that player city and talked trash! Seriously, I enjoy being hunted and for that reason i grind on planets like Tatooine and Dant. I know some of my guildmates hate to be hunted and i can see their point. I propose making BH an alpha class similar to jedi. One with a village-esque grind and phases that allow a bh to follow a seperate path from jedi and bring alpha class bh's up to compete with the jedi. PRE_CU a bh could get a hold of some really great legendary weapons and tactics and solo a full template jedi. With those days gone something needs to be done to bring up BH's to a comparable level, especially if the DEVS are going to make bh vs jedi 1on1. But that would make sense and we play galaxies so that doesnt add up.

rofl

I totally agree. The BH changes are going to ruin one of the best parts of this game. I hate to see any class nerfed but this one has so little logic behind it, it makes me laugh at these idiot devs.

I hope they will see that a large portion of the Jedi that play now do not agree with these changes anymore than the Bounty Hunters do. Lets hope they can see the light before this crap goes live...

Sorry guys =/

I am A jedi..A veteran jedi I coul say.... And I tottaly agree with you, Bhs are the one thing atm that keeps a jedi on edge, I hate all these new jedi for thier whining about bh, it is(haha Rigth, WAS SUPPOSED TO BE) the risk of being a jedi... And now..BLEH!

I think that Bounty Hunters should get the name when seekers are launched.

I do think the changes will be good for the true hunters those that do not care what the level of the Jedi is that they are hunting. The hunters who just see a mission for a Jedi and see that this is someone who needs to be removed from the galaxy. I know for one most Jedi with finished or near finished templates are rarely ever hunted now even when groups can take the mission. I for one have been hunted 2 times since getting Jedi in January. Pre CU I was very careful to never get visibility. I have been all over the boards since the CU (not showing off but trying to get XP). I still have not finished my templatedue to shortage of time because of having a baby in RL but since I went over 200k on the terms BH have disappeared. I think you would see many Jedi welcoming the fight much more than the runners and house sitters you deal with now. So maybe you will have more deaths but you will also have alot more fights.

Yes! Now we can die with honor! Nah you cant win but you will get a fight...nice. To bad they cant find a "balance" in this friggin game without making an alpha class or nerfing a prof into uselessness.....

I think the main thing that fixes this problem is the part about once you get a huge amount of vis your name comes up. That is the perfect solution in my mind. This way if a jedi is showing off and PvPing in theed for hours on end 5 BHs can show up and give their ego a /deathblow.

I fully support paddys who get very little vis (mostly by accident) from being not named on the terms, and I fully support the jedi's level not being listed on the terms. But for those who blatantly flaunt in NPC cities... they should be hunted down and utterly destroyed.

Heck, make it a seperate BH terminal that only lists these notorious jedi, so that it only takes a few minutes for 5 BH to get their names. Then make any visability you get in an NPC city worth 100x the normal amount. Heck lets go for 1000x or 10000x or even 100000x!

I will admit that I have PvPed a few times in npc cities. Once in Kachiro and a few times in the Rebel Outpost on Rori but I certainly wouldn't have if this system had been implemented. Someone really needs to write this up fully and suggest it on the Dev forum. Heck if they would let us it'd be nice if we could write the code and then sumbit that so they just have to check it and copy and paste.

Great ideas here... probably the best post on this subject I have read ever.
